Mika looks amazing & for some reason her get up reminds me of the lady assassin in NEWS's Yonjuushi PV , haha

[KarenPang]

DARLING in the FRANXX will start airing next month and KISS OF DEATH was written , composed + produced by hyde with hyde sharing co-arranging credits with Carlos K.

I don't mind if KISS OF DEATH sounds like Hitoiro which I feel it's quite under-rated

And I know I previously wrongly wrote KISS OF LIFE . That's because I was watching Hirai Ken's performance of KISS OF LIFE at last week's 2017 FNS Kayousai when I saw news updates on Mika working with hyde again

I get mixed up with song titles from time to time , it's no big deal . It's not as though I committed such a huge sin and crime in something like this

[mi|kshake]

Ahhh exciting news! I'm so glad Mika and Hyde are working together again. Gets me all nostalgic for the Glamorous Sky days.

Mika's been on a roll with her collaborations in recent years.

...literally no one accused you of committing a crime??? They just pointed out your mistake. Chill.

I wasn't expecting them to collaborate again but I'm excited for her to throw it back to her NANA days...anything to erase A or B from my memory, honestly

I think it's great both of them are able to maintain a friendship after all these years and not work on GLAMOROUS SKY & then after that , make it look as though it's a 1 off thing

Let alone for Mika to perform for the 1st time in this year's HALLOWEEN PARTY that VAMPS organised for almost 10 years , it's better late than never

To be honest I don't mind if Mika release another rock inspired like album like what she did for THE END

[Kaiouforever]

I found Mika on Spotify today!

Nakashima Mika & HYDE collaborate after 13 years

Nakashima Mika's new song "KISS OF DEATH (Produced by HYDE)" will be used as the theme song for anime 'Darling in the Franxx' premiering in January.

As stated in the title, this song was produced by HYDE (L'Arc-en-Ciel, VAMPS). It was written and composed by HYDE, and co-arranged by HYDE and Carlos K..

It's been about 13 years since Nakashima and HYDE teamed up for the hit song "GLAMOROUS SKY", which served as the theme song for movie 'NANA' in 2005.

On working with HYDE again, Nakashima commented, "I feel very happy to participate in this wonderful work through song, and also to have HYDE-san provide this wonderful song. I will sing this song, which is perfect for the anime, carefully in my own way so that many people will listen to it."

HYDE also stated, "I was able to produce a song that I really like. The anime and Mika-chan are good luck."

Wow, I can't believe it's been 13 years since I bought Glamorous Sky. I still remember getting my package from CDJapan which contained GS, Yuna Ito's Endless Story (although I always preferred Journey) and Hikaru's Be My Last.

[Refix]

The new single preview sounds legit. Promising.

Mika looks amazing and for some reason I feel hyde is also suitable to cosplay as Marie Joseph as well haha

[Refix]

The drawing reminds me of La Rose de Versailles.

I feel like Mika can pull off any look.
